The Israeli military on Monday announced the death of a soldier in fighting in the Gaza Strip, bringing the total number of troops killed since the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel to 600.
The military announced the death of 20-year-old soldier Nadav Cohen, and updated its overall toll to 600 killed since the attacks that triggered the war.
The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 people hostage.
Israel responded with an air, land and sea offensive that has killed at least 32,782 Palestinians, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
The Israeli military says it has killed over 13,000 Hamas fighters.
The war has displaced most of Gaza’s population and driven a third of its residents to the brink of famine. Northern Gaza has suffered vast destruction and has been largely isolated since October, leading to widespread hunger.
